Ripple CTO’s Warning to XRP Holders

He sold 40,000 ETH for a solar panel—now that $100M regret is a quiet warning to XRP holders. This story follows Ripple’s CTO, David Swartz, whose rooftop photo became a viral nudge to rethink the sell button and stay patient. We revisit the “mic drop” moment, the community’s reaction, and the tension of holding through flat stretches while critics call it a sell signal. It’s a reminder to zoom out when doubts hit. Along the way, I share a practical side path: Unity Nodes—using smartphones to verify networks and earn crypto while waiting for the next move. From 200 licenses to choosing XRP payouts, it’s about planting seeds without abandoning conviction.
